The BlasTech 500 "ESPO" riot gun was manufactured specifically for the Corporate Sector Authority's brutal Espo Troops.
The ESPO was a short-barreled rifle with an open-frame stock. Its strength was not in accuracy—indeed, it did not have much of that—but rather in its ability to hit anything in a general field of fire. Critics of the CSA have said that the rifle matched the CSA philosophy perfectly - when in doubt, shoot into a crowd, or so the cynics say.
Espos were known to fire this weapon on fully automatic mode the majority of the time.
